Napoli boss Walter Mazzarri insist they deserve their return to Europe's elite.

After 21 years, when it was still called the European Cup, Napoli will return to the Champions League tonight at Manchester City.

"This isn't the first important game we have faced and we've learned to deal with emotion," said the Coach. "I still have a few doubts on the line-up based on fitness, form and the tactics adopted by our opponents.

"It's true most of our players have never been in the Champions League, but we've played in the Europa League and Serie A. We're not amateurs diving into this without preparation. The nerves will dissipate after two minutes of football.

"Manchester City are strong and if we want to get a result, all the elements have to go our way. But we also have our style of football and players that can hurt them. We mustn't think about the group, but rather just this one night and what we achieve in 95 minutes of play."
